Supported Fedora releases get Plasma updates as soon as possible. Keep your Fedora installation updated and you are good to go.

We provide Plasma 5 packages for Fedora 20 and 21 in the [https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/plasma-5/ dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository]. (Please note that these packages '''replace''' Plasma 4. The Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 workspaces can'''not''' be installed in parallel from our RPMs.) The required KDE Frameworks 5 packages are available in the official Fedora repositories for Fedora 20 (in updates) and 21, and will be automatically installed as dependencies of the Plasma 5 packages. (Unlike the Plasma workspaces, the libraries, i.e. KDE Frameworks 5, kdelibs 4 and kdelibs 3, can be installed in parallel.)

See https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/plasma-workspace for details on the progress of Plasma updates.

Add the Plasma 5 Copr to Yum and install the <tt>plasma-5</tt> meta-package, which will install all needed packages.

Plasma 5 will replace Plasma 4 as the system version of Plasma in Fedora 22. Until that happens, packages for Rawhide (i.e. what will become Fedora 22 and newer) are also available from the [https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/plasma-5/ dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository].

For all those who want to try out Plasma 5 without affecting their existing Plasma 4 installation, we also provide an x86_64 live image with Plasma 5 based on Fedora 20: [http://pub.dvratil.cz/plasma/iso/5.1/ http://pub.dvratil.cz/plasma/iso/5.1/].
